Sanitizer for water and effluent.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS (OCCIDENTAL)
Sodium hypochlorite (soda bleach) solutions can be prepared by reacting chlorine with solutions of
caustic soda, soda ash (sodium carbonate), or a combination of caustic soda and soda ash. Soda
ash processes produce less stable sodium hypochlorite solutions. For that reason, only the
caustic soda processes will be discussed in this handbook.
Potassium hypochlorite, another bleach product, can be produced with the same equipment for
production of soda bleach solutions.
As previously stated, chlorine will react with a caustic soda solution to produce sodium
hypochlorite according to the following equation:

PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
Description: Sodium hypochlorite is a clear pale greenish yellow solution.
Density: g/cm3
at 20C 1, 23 Min
Available Chlorine when despatched (C2): % m/v 15 Min
Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH): % m/v 1, 5 Max
Stability: When the solution is kept in the dark at a temperature of 20C to 25C and tested on the
14th day after date of despatch the available chlorine content shall not be less than 13% m/v.
Nevertheless all hypochlorite solutions decompose slowly on standing with the formation of sodium
chlorate and sodium chloride with the evolution of some oxygen.
